These games normally have goals, and normally finish either 2-2 or 3-2. We'll need a lot more quality in the second half if we're to see the customary four or five goals. No shots on target for either side but a fair bit of action. Will Ferry cracked the post and Sam Dalby ballooned one over the bar in the games best chances so far. St Mirren looked decent in the early stages but failed to create many clear-cut chances. Stephen Robinson's side do have 56 entries in the final third, almost double the hosts, so, there's that. .. Jack Walton was booked for this challenge in the opening 45 minutes Celtic 5-0 Ross County Relentless stuff from the leaders, who are on their way to going five points clear after a five-goal first half. Three assists and a goal for Luke Mc Cowan, who has been the standout. Celtic 5-0 Ross County A miserable first half for Ross Laidlaw is compounded by an injury. The goalkeeper came into contact with Celtic striker Adam Idah while clearing the ball and he'll have to make way for Jack Hamilton. Kilmarnock 0-0 Dundee Gully Singh BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby Park We may well be headed for an early half-time Killie pie at this rate. Both managers cutting a frustrated figure with the fans void of any real action. There's still plenty of time for a five-goal thriller though. We'll keep telling ourselves that at least! Dundee United 0-0 St Mirren Tyrone Smith BBC Sport Scotland at Tannadice St Mirren have really stepped it up now at Tannadice, pulling the United defence about all over the place.

Euan O'Reilly Dundee United 0-0 St Mirren VAR checks for a potential against the hosts. Emmanuel Adegboyega is challenging for the ball in the box and knocks it out for a corner, but it appears to strike his arm. Not too long of a delay, with referee Matthew Mc Dermid waving play on. Kilmarnock 0-0 Dundee Very little has happened in the last 15 minutes here, but Dundee have just had a man go into the book. Billy Koumetio took out Brad Lyons with a nasty tackle and is the first player cautioned. Dundee United 0-0 St Mirren United defender Declan Gallagher makes a crucial block, sliding in to knock away a ball that looked as if it was set to nestle in the bottom corner. Moments later, Alex Gogic makes a tremendous challenge to deny Ryan Strain in the box at the other end of the park. Max Barry Russell Mc Lean Connor Wood Mykola Kuharevich Nicky Cadden's corner is flicked on at the front post by Elie Youan and into the path of Jack Iredale arriving at the back post. The defender makes a mess of his attempt but striker Mykola Kuharevich takes over and pokes the ball into the net from a yard out. Adam Idah A devastating finish from Adam Idah into the top-right corner from the edge of the area. This could be anything for Celtic. Louis Longridge Celtic 4-0 Ross County Kheredine Idessane BBC Scotland at Celtic Park This is no longer a contest. It never really was, as soon as Celtic took their early lead. Four goals, four different goalscorers and a virtuoso display so far by Luke Mc Cowan in midfield. An assist, a goal, a sublime defence-splitting pass for Daizen Maeda in the phase before the third goal. Seeing all this, Callum Mc Gregor says: 'watch this, son' and blasts in a superb fourth. Celtic are on a totally different planet to their opponents thus far. Tete Yengi Callum Mc Gregor An absolute rocket from Callum Mc Gregor, who leathers one in from 20-odd yards.
